My Polk RTI6 are the weakest link in my system which now consists of Adcom 2535 (I use the 4 channels to bi-wire my speakers), GFT-555ii and GFP-555ii.
I would likely bi-wire the KEF's as well. The 2535 puts out 90WPC into 4Ohms and I think that will be sufficient.
The reason I'm looking at them is because of what I've read about their sound and because they are often reasonably priced. I haven't heard them personally yet.
I have already performed a lot of research but would like the collective expertise of the group as well.
I want to know about problems that seem to be typical of buying older speakers in general:
Anything else I should be aware of when looking at these or the 103/# series?
Deeply appreciate your help.

I want to know about problems that seem to be typical of buying older speakers in general:
- Are the surrounds foam or some other material?
- Do they degrade?
- Are the crossovers electrolytic and do they degrade over time as well?
- Is the tweeter fluid-cooled and does it dry out?
Anything else I should be aware of when looking at these or the 103/# series?
Deeply appreciate your help.
